We have been working closely with the Nile Basin Initiative to create a Decision Support System for the Nile. Training activities have been implemented in parallel with the development of customised software. The Nile Basin project provided the ten Nile Basin Initiative countries with scientifically accepted methods to publish and share data, models and information. In this way, the cooperative and sustainable management of the Nile was facilitated and the highest degree of stakeholder commitment ensured.

Okavango Delta

We have developed an integrated hydrological model of the Okavango Delta (MIKE SHE, MIKE11) and provided expert consultancy services and scenario analysis to the project. A key element has been capacity development and technology transfer to the Department of Water Affairs (DWA), Botswana to enable them to develop the Okavango Delta Management Plan (ODMP). Our hydrological model, combined with our training and consultation services provided results which have been successfully applied to the ODMP
